Thanks John.

The 'issue' I was having is exactly what you described, but at least that part I understood - when the AVR was receiving LPCM.

Where I was getting confused was when I set the PS3 to output bitstream and still was not getting the display on my AVR indicating an HD audio format even though it was chosen in the playback options on the disc itself. With some searching I learned that the PS3 does not output the HD audio formats over bitstream, just the standard Dolby Digital or DTS.
